Objectives:
- Design and development of new telecommunication architectures leveraging disruptive paradigms, such as Digital Twins and serverless computing
- Devising architectural components and interfaces that enable added-value services that go beyond the administrative boundary of the network operators, supporting inter-domain cloud continuum services and targeting KVIs (e.g., security and sustainability) besides KPIs
- Definition of new channel/system models able to capture the characteristics of unconventional transmission media and the critical requirements of extreme environments
- Design and development of full-stack architectures, algorithms, and technologies fitting extreme environments in terms of such KVI requirements as robustness, reliability, heterogeneity, and energy-efficiency
Structural projects:
- COHERENT – Disruptive architectures and open platforms for network innovation
- SEXTET – Services & systems for extreme environments and domain-specific scenarios
Focused projects:
- AQUASMARTT – dAta acQuisition with Underwater and Above-water Sustainable wireless nodes for Monitoring how climAtic changes affects natuRal disasTers and biodiversity
